Robert Hiltzik’s Sleepaway Camp

In my opinion one of the BEST worst movies ever made. I can’t remember how old I was when I first saw this movie, but it left an impression to be sure. For the most part it’s pretty tame, it takes place in a camp full of actual teens (the actors were all pretty young) so there’s no nudity but there are some graphic scenes that will make you say to yourself, what the fuck? Like, a snake coming out of a dead kids mouth and a hot curling iron put in places that it really shouldn’t be put.

As usual with all of these types of movies there’s a lot of assholes who deserve to be murdered (the rules of horror dictate it, not me). If you make to the end of the movie you’ve accomplished something to be proud of and if you’re sensitive like me you’ll also be traumatized and will never be able to get that scene out of your head…ever.

And if that’s not enough, the song during the closing credits will send you over the edge.
